Abstract
Spontaneous esophageal rupture (Boerhaave's Syndrome) is a life-threatening condition that requires early diagnosis and effective treatment. The authors describe a rare case of spontaneous rupture of the esophagus associated with pulmonary rupture in a 54-year-old man. The anatomical basis for the occurrence of a spontaneous esophageal rupture associated with pulmonary rupture is discussed.Entities:
